How is that clear at all? There's multiple cases where someone under 21 buys a rifle, because they aren't legally able to buy a handgun. Putting up another barrier that prevents disturbed young men from buying rifles would clearly save some lives, although it's probably true it's not that many.

Personally I'd be in favor of another assault weapons ban being passed. I think these rifles being purchasable causes more harm than good in society. I'd also be cool with more stringent requirements to purchase any firearm, and I say this as a firearm owner. It's never going to happen obviously, but I think it's what a sensible society would do.

What harm do these rifles do that isn't done a hundred-fold by hand-guns? We need to make informed, data driven decisions.

I head 15,000 convicts made it out and got their freedom back in Russia? Out of the 50-75k that went in?
Nothing like rapists and murderers who were on life sentences coming straight back from a warzone and into "society"


This is not normal. Then again, either is looting washing machines ^^

In what ways will trans people be oppressed by those laws?

Here's the flow of conversation I anticipate having with someone that would demonstrate my point:

Me: Is a man dressing up in women's clothing considered "drag"?

Them: Sure.

Me: Should people who are "in drag" be around children?

Them: No.

Me: Are transgender women, women?

Them: No. Transgender women are men.

Me: So a 'transgender woman' is merely a man in women's clothing?

Them: Exactly.

Me: So they're 'in drag'?

Them: Yes, absolutely

Me: And shouldn't be around children?

Them: Exactly!

Probably many if I had to guess, to be expected when you have tens of millions identifying as Christian or conservatives. Just the law or large numbers.

Vast majority of people that disagree or refuse to acknowledge delusions has nothing to do with bigotry or hate. The world doesn’t revolve around you nor me nor should you expect the world to conform to nonsense. Sorry if that offends you but tbh it’s reality and the faster in life you come to this conclusion the better off you will be.

I don’t know for a fact but most likely this person committed this act because he was indoctrinated by a toxic ideology that as bogie said, views people that disagree with your lifestyle as literally aggressing you.

The Colorado Springs shooter, Denver shooter, Nashville shooter, etc. One thing’s clear, the modern trans movement is radicalizing activists into terrorism.

The rifles are used in many of the most notorious mass shootings, often by people who, if faced with any kind of reasonable process, would not have been able to purchase weapons.

But I suppose the handgun argument is more evidence on my side, that all firearms need to be restricted more.

As I said, the rifles are used because they're school shooters are unoriginal. Take away rifles and they'll migrate to handguns. The shooter in this case was 28 years old.

Bold - Which lends credence to the pro-2nd amendment argument. Assault weapons bans are not sensible, strictly tailored measures designed to increase public safety. They're a first step towards the general elimination of the 2nd amendment.
